Year 4 had an inspiring day at the Story Museum in Oxford, a unique immersive exhibition that celebrates stories in all their forms. The children explored interactive and multi-sensory installations designed to spark creativity and curiosity. They were transported into the world of storytelling through vibrant displays, hands-on activities, and spaces dedicated to bringing language, ideas, and imagination to life. From classic tales to modern narratives, the visit encouraged a deep appreciation for the power of stories and left the children buzzing with inspiration.

The Story Museum is truly a magical space, and this experience was a fantastic way to nurture a love of language and creativity!

As part of Anti-Bullying Week the children took part in Odd Socks Day! This fun and meaningful day encourages everyone to embrace and celebrate our unique differences, reminding us that we’re all wonderfully unique in our own way. 

We celebrated Oracy Day with interactive workshops tailored to different year groups, all designed to develop communication skills and boost confidence.

Tom Bigglestone from Hidden Leaders joined us to lead dynamic sessions packed with engaging, hands-on activities. Children across the school explored speaking, listening, and collaboration in a fun and creative way, helping their confidence and communication skills shine.

The children took to the pitches for their exciting house matches in hockey and rugby showcasing incredible teamwork, determination, and sportsmanship. The players made their houses proud and reminded us all of the joy and camaraderie that sport brings.

Year 6 have been delving into the hidden world of cells, exploring their fascinating structures using microscopes. With a mix of traditional and digital microscopes, they prepared temporary slides of cheek cells and onion cells, comparing and contrasting their unique features.
